The American Nation

The American Nation begins every chapter with a set of theme statements.

Long Synopsis:

The American Nation begins every chapter with a set of theme statements. These statements are drawn from seven broad themes central to American history: Global Relations, our Constitutional Heritage, Democratic Values, Technology and Society, Cultural Diversity, Geographic Diversity, and Economic Development. They provide a context for the historical events in each chapter. This context will help you understand the connections between historical events and see how past events are relevant to today's social, political, and economic concerns.
